ROCKVILLE, Md. — Democrats’ belief that new information revealed after Donald Trump’s election — as when the reports of Russian interference spurred calls on the left for a revote or, failing that, for “faithless” electors to abandon Trump — would change voters’ minds has taken another hit.
A Pew Research survey Wednesday showed a whopping 97 percent of all voters would cast the exact same vote they did on Election Day, including 99 percent of Trump voters and 96 percent of Clinton voters. As with the recount that saw Clinton lose votes and the Electoral College vote that saw her lose electors, only 1 percent of Trump voters regret their vote, while 4 percent of Clinton voters do.
Voters seem ready to move on.
Not so some on the left. Michael Moore tweeted Tuesday: “Trump is not president until 12 noon on Jan. 20th. So we’ll continue to fight hope to find a legal, nonviolent way to stop this madness.” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman similarly tweeted: “We should never accept this as OK. It may be the new normal, but that’s a new normal in which the America we knew and loved is gone.” Then there’s Keith Olbermann, who is advising his viewers not to refer to the incoming commander-in-chief as “President Trump.”
What’s the moral of this story? We still need to do a much better job of understanding why people voted for Trump and perhaps take a look at why the erosion of support was bigger for Clinton in this survey. After all, if people think new information about a possible conflict of interest at a Trump hotel or revelations of Russian-manufactured blog posts would change voters’ minds, they’re wrong. It suggests even a “revote” would change nothing....

Except it looks like Trump would get 4% more votes. Haha Hillary.
The leftists are essentially toddlers in a sandbox flinging poo.
It’s what they do.
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
Hillaryous Rotten Criminal ALERT! 1/2 The Greatest Crime Couple in the history of this fantastic republic.
Enemy within BUMP!
Sessions needs to give Cankles and Barkie a wakeup call at 3:00 a.m. eastern time an January 21, 2017.
Delightful article... I still expect Obama to pardon Hillary. If he doesn’t, I hope the Trump Administration will ‘re-open the investigation and bring justice to the Clintons and their gang of thieves.
They keep finding NEW ways for her to lose. I will never tire of it. The losingist, most loathed candidate ever!
Beautiful baby!!!
The Clintons have no grace - they are rotten to the core.
Anyone with a desire to see America heal would make a gracious concession speech, ask their supporters to respect the office of President and move forward.
Not the Clintons, they are vindictive and evil.....Americans are simply voters and suckers in their perverted minds.
She still has plenty of wag the dog support.
She, her hubby, Barky are in fact terrified of the unknown. They have no idea what DJT’s administration might do.
So, flood the airways with crap - just so everyone knows that if anyone touches them, a peaceful life will never be possible.
Cry me a river. Send her ass to jail. We’ll clean up later.
The Clinton’s need to be thoroughly investigated to learn exactly what secrets they sold and to whom.
“Keith Olbermann, who is advising his viewers not to refer to the incoming commander-in-chief as ‘President Trump.’”
Some pundit on O’Reilly with Jesse Watters filling in said Trump would never be his President. And then he continued to rudely blabber and talk over the others. Jesse finally had to tell him, “Shut your mouth.” It was great!
The moral of this story is that we need to bring factual history into our schools. We need to bring civics classes back into our schools. The young left is uneducated. I’m sure their brain cells are as good as anyone else’s, but they just haven’t been taught. Our young people are the uneducated generation.
Why does the Left worry about Russian interference? We had out in the open interference from the Main Stream Media against Trump all day long!
Frankly, I'm not sure she has or ever really had any supporters. Just people that wanted something from another Clinton Presidency, people that expected to benefit. Maybe you can count them as "supporters" but only supporters due to self-interest. And now they see it would be in their best interests to move on, and so they are. Fair weather friends at best, just what HRC deserves.
Gawd, don’t know how many more times I can say this but it still doesn’t sink into the left’s head. Clinton lost because she is Clinton, and all the crap, corruption, crisis, lies, etc., that goes along with that
I’d guess that 4% of non-leftist voters believed the left-wing propaganda that Trump is an unstable madman with Nazi policies who will destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust. When they saw him operating in a rational, thoughtful manner during the transition, building a strong cabinet and working on saving jobs, they realized they voted for Hillary under false pretenses and now resent it. I wouldn’t be surprised; the left’s propaganda was so extreme and over-the-top about Trump.
The poll also found that 98% of people don’t believe Fake Polls.
Merry Christmas
YES Paul Krugman - the America YOU loved is gone. Americans spoke and you and your fellow leftists have been rejected. We hate all of you Paul. All of you.
The America that Paul Krugman ‘loves’ is NOT the AMERICA I love-—nor the America I wish to see continuing.
When he says ‘we’, he is either only talking about his Liberal friends or he has a mouse in his pocket.
The election proved that there are millions of voters who don’t agree with his version of the America ‘he loves’.
